elected Governor in 1879, but they
held on to the machine. and inter-
posed every possible obstacle to the
administrative reforms which he at
tempted to make. With the explra-
tion of Gov. Hamilton's term their
power again became absolute and
they have ruled with an iron hand
ever since. The people have twice
turned them down, but through the
corrupt manipulation of the ballot
boxes in Baltimore city at the pri-
mary, municipal and general cleo
tions, they have managed to hold on
to this day.
The revolt in Baltimore city
against the fraudulent methods en-
ployed by the bosses to carry cleo
tions has given the people of the
State another chance to disestablish
the machine. Highly reputable
Democrats have taken upon them
selves the burden of exposing the
frauds by which the bosses have per-
petuated their power. Honest DEM
ocrats have now an opportunity to
rid the party of the odious rule of
this tyrannical clique. Everybody
outside of the "ring" wants change
in the administration of affairs at
Annapolis. Every honest taxpayer
knows that the Comptroller's office
needs an overhauling that there
should be a close inquiry into the
condition of the sinking funds; that
there should be some check put upon
the dominating influence of the Bal
timore city delegation in the Legis-
lature. A vote for Jaskson, Whyte,
and Baughman is vote to continue
the evils and abuses which the bosses
have fastened upon the State admin
istration vote for Brooks. Miller
and Dixon is a vote to disestabiish
the machine and to restore to the peo-
pie the right to select their own can
didates, and to have their ballots
counted. Choose We, between them

Wanted--A Change,

For twenty years the dominant
party in Maryland has had complete
and absolute control of the State gov
eminent. During a portion of that
time there was not single opposi-
ton member in either branch of the
Legislature. OF late years there has
been Republican minority suffi-
GENTLY large to give the bosses seri-
Gus trouble, but not large enough to
compel change of policy. The Bal
timore city delegation has practically
controlled the popular branch of the
Legislature. and, as rnle. this dele
cation has been carefully selected to
do the will of the bosses. Now and
then mistake has been made, and
an honest, independent man has
slipped in through the meshes of the
net which is intended only to catch
rascals for political service. but for
the most part, the Representatives of
the Baltimore city legislative dis
tricts, in both branches of the Gener-
al Assembly, have done the work as
signed them without protest.
The bosses have also had entire
control of the Executive departments
during the greater part of this per-
iod. The "machine" as now consti-
tuted did not exist during Gov.
Bowels term, but he was a strong
partisan and looked at things from
the Democratic standpoint. In those
days the old "canal ring" was the
ruling factor in politics, Gov. Bow
lie had the nerve to "disestablish"
this ring, but with his retirement
from Office the canal again became a
potential element, and with Author
p. German running the "machine,"
dominated the whole Democratic
party.

honest men of the party the bosses

Mary Had a Little Lamb.
Rose Bud, Tennessee.

Rose Bud. Tennessee.
Will you tell about "Mary had a
Little Lamb" who wrote it and why?
My papa says it is only story. Is
it or is it not true?
Many readers will be surprised to
learn that the well-known verses call
ed "Mary Had a Little Lamb were
founded on actual circumstances, and
that its heroine, Mary, is still living.
About 70 years ago she was little
girl, the daughter of a farmer in
Worcester county, Mass. One spring
the farmer brought feeble lamb into
the house. and Mary adopted it as
her especial pet. 1t became so fond
of her that it would follow her every
where, One day it followed her to
the village school, and, not knowing
what else to do with il. she put it I'M
der her desk and covered it with her
shawl. There it stayed until Mary
was called up to the teachers desk to
say her lesson, and the lamb walked
quietly after her, and the other chill
dren burst out laughing. So the
teacher had TO shut the little girls
pet in the woodshed until school was
out. Soon after this young student
named John Rollston wrote a little
poem about Mary and her lamb, and
presented it to her. The lamb grew
to be a sheep and lived for many
years, and when at last it died, Mary
grieved so much for it that her moth
er took some of its wool, which was
''as white as snow" and knitted
pair of stockings for her to wear in
remembrance of her darling. Some
years after the lambs death, Mrs.
Sarah Hall, a celebrated woman who
wrote books, composed some verses
about Mary's lamb and added them
to those written by John Rollston,
making the complete poem AS we
know it. Mary took such good care
of the stockings made from her
lambs fleece. that when she was a
grown up woman she gave one of
them to a church fair in Boston, AS
soon as it became known that the
stocking was made from the fleece of
"Mary's Little Lamb" every one
wanted piece of it, so the stocking
was raveled out and the yarn cut
into short pieces. Each piece was
tied to a card on which MARY"
wrote her full name, and these cards
sold so well that they brought the
large sum of $40 to the Old South
church, Blade.

Religious Dead Heads.

The Pittsburgh Christian Advocate
talks out in meetin' like this:
"Those who have enjoyed the bles-
sings of the gospel and the privileges
of the church for another year, and
have paid nothing for the same, may
chuckle over their good luck--like
the man who escapes the notice of
the conductor and proposes to take
another ride on the ticket which does
not belong to him. But the church
sponge is worse than the railroad
thief, for the conductor has been
around and called for cash. Perhaps
the plea of the man who was sneak
ing his ride on the heavenly train
was that he had no money. Well,
he had plenty of assurance any way,
else he would have paid his fare or
quit the train. Yes, he has saved
something in dollars and cents. but
how much has he lost in manhood ?
If Christ could not save Himself and
save the world at the same time. so
neither can one save his money and
save his manhood and be member
of the Christian church. "A good
name is rather to be chosen than
great riches, and loving favor than
silver or gold.' But 1 will surely
buy it of thee at price; neitherswill
| offer burnt offerings unto the Lord
my God of that which doth cost me
nothing"

It's Brother will"


Just at break of day of chilly
morning the people of little hamlet
outhe coast were awakened by the
booming of cannon over the stormy
waves. They knew what it meant,
for frequently they had heard before
the same signal of distress. Some
poor souls were out beyond the break
ers. perishing on wrecked vessel.
and in their last extremity calling
wildly for human help. The people
fastened from their houses to the
shore. Yes, out there in the distance
was dismantled vessel pounding
itself to pieces, with perishing fellow
beings clinging to the rigging, every
now and then some one of them
swept off by the furious waves into
the sea. The life saving crew was
soon gathered.
"Man the life boat!" cried the
men.
"Where is Hardy?"
But the foreman of the crew was
not there, and the danger was immi-
nent. Aid must be immediate or all
was lost. The next in command
sprang into the frail boat followed by
the rest. all taking their lives in their
hands, in the hope of saying others.
Oh +! how those on the shore watched
their brave, loved ones as they DASH
ed on, now over. now almost under
the waves! They reached the
wreck. Like angels of deliverence
they filled their craft with almost
dying men-men lost but for them.
Back again they then toiled, pulling
for the shore. bearing their precious
freight. The first man to help them
land was Hardy, whose words rang
above the roar of the breakers. Are
all here? Did you save them all ?"
With saddened faces the reply
came "All but one. He couldn't
help himself. We had all we could
carry. We couldn't save the last
one."
"Man the life boat again !" shout
ed Hardy. II will 60. What leave
one to die alone A fellow creature
there and we on shore! Man the life
boat now! Well save him yet ~
But who was this aged woman with
worn garments and disheveled hair,
who with agonized entreaty fell upon
her knees beside this brave, strong
man? 1t was his mother.
80. my son! Your father was lost
in storm like this. Your brother
Will left me eight years ago. and I've
never seen his face since the day he
sailed. You will be lost and 1 am
old and poor. Oh, stay with meW
Mother" cried the man. "where
one is in peril there's my place. If 1
am lost God will surely care for you.
The plea of earnest faith prevailed.
With "God bless you, my boy" she
released him and speeded him on his
way.
Once more they watched and pray
ed and wailed-those on the shore
while every muscle was strained by
those in the boat toward the sinking
ship. 1t reached the vessel. The
clinging figure was lifted and helped
to its place. where strong hands took
1t in charge. Back came the boat.
How eagerly they look in encourage
ment, then cheered as it carnenearer.
ibid you get him ?" was the cry
from the shore.
Lifting his hand to his mouth to
trumpet the words on in advance of
landing. Hardy called back Tell
